Stamford Bridge all-rounder Will Rhodes lands top cricket award

YORKSHIRE all-rounder Will Rhodes has won the prestigious England Development Programme Cricketer of the Year award.

The 19-year-old Stamford Bridge star captained England Under-19s to third place in the ICC Under-19 World Cup in the UAE last winter and also made his Yorkshire first team debut in Twenty20 Cup last summer.

The shortlist for the award included Yorkshire team-mate Matthew Fisher, the Sheriff Hutton Bridge teenager, but innings such as his unbeaten 76 in the World Cup semi-final defeat against Pakistan landed the accolade.
